FG Ping : Check that a host is reachable or alive
In depth
A closer look at FG Ping
The purpose of this Ping implementation initially was to demonstrate the use of the Windows ICMP library. While it's still a good example in this regard it is also worth it in itself as a powerful ping utility. It's behavior was closely modeled after that of Linux with some extensions taken from traceroute. The Ping application uses the ICMP protocol's mandatory ECHO_REQUEST datagram to elicit an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a host or gateway. ECHO_REQUEST datagrams (``pings'') have an IP and ICMP header, followed by a ``struct timeval'' and then an arbitrary number of ``pad'' bytes used to fill out the packet.
